Interviews happening this week & next – decisions by end of the month

Are you a Senior Developer ready to step into a Tech Lead role / Development Manager where you can shape products that truly make a difference? We’re partnering with an industry leader at the forefront of digital innovation in health & social care.

With offices in Scotland and Newcastle (and just one or two in-office days per month), this is a fully remote opportunity offering the chance to lead, innovate, and grow in a supportive, forward‑thinking environment.

💻 What you’ll do

• Take on a 70 / 30 hands‑on vs. leadership split — coding, architecting, and mentoring.
• Lead a small, talented team of developers in an agile, product‑focused environment (scrum).
• Work across a modern full‑stack environment.
• Manage a team between 2–10 engineers, running 1:1s and supporting growth.
• Influence architecture, design patterns, and tech decisions across the platform.
• Partner with product managers to shape priorities and delivery outcomes.
• Guide teams in designing, building, testing, and shipping new features.
• Own the full lifecycle from concept → architecture → code → release.
• Play a key role in hiring the next generation of engineering talent.
• Foster a culture of learning, collaboration, and engineering excellence.
• Remain technically hands‑on, especially while teams scale.

💻 Tech Stack

We’re seeking strong full‑stack engineers who lead by example.

Core stack includes :

• .NET (Framework & Core)
• Azure SQL + Azure Cloud
• Vue.js, Vanilla JS, CSS, HTML (SPA)

Bonus: RabbitMQ, SignalR, broader Azure services

Experience with large‑scale, complex systems is a major advantage.

🌟 About You

Leadership titles aren’t essential - but leadership behaviour is .

You’ll thrive if you are :

• A strong full‑stack engineer with deep problem‑solving instincts
• Comfortable leading technical direction and coaching others
• Skilled at breaking down complexity into clear actions
• Emotionally intelligent and great at aligning teams
• Confident challenging assumptions and navigating ambiguity
• Motivated to build elegant, scalable, future‑ready solutions
• Passionate about learning, improvement, and collaboration

🎁 What You’ll Get

• £75,000–£90,000 depending on experience
• Remote‑first working
• £1,000+ personal & professional development budget
• 33 days holiday, rising to 40
• 4‑week paid sabbatical after 5 years
• Private healthcare, income protection, death‑in‑service
• Matched 5% pension
• Innovation Weeks (twice annually)
• 20 hours paid volunteering time
• Monthly social time - hikes, BBQs, games nights, workshops
• A supportive, ambitious, inclusive engineering culture
